WiMIR

WiMIR is a group of people dedicated to promoting the role of, and increasing opportunities for, women in the MIR field. We meet to socialize, share information, and discuss in an informal setting, with the goal of building a community around women, as well as men who support women, in our field. WiMIR has held an annual meeting at the ISMIR conference since 2012, having a high turnout of both female and male attendees. This year’s meeting will include a short overview of the group and ongoing initiatives, and a mentorship session for ISMIR members.

Industrial Panel

The aim of the Industrial Panel is to help the researchers understand how industry is connected to research and academia, grants, internships, projects, etc. Thus, the Industrial Panel will serve to connect more strongly the industry activities to the research community. The participants will have the opportunity to get from the panelists an idea of the main MIR/processing/management tasks they expect to be relevant for them in the next years. Also, the audience will have the opportunity to freely ask some questions to the panel. The panelists (in alphabetic order) will be representatives from the following enterprises: Pandora, Google, LyricFind, Steinberg, Smule.

Business Meeting

In this plenary session, the ISMIR board members present their work and activities to the community since last ISMIR.
